There will be 3 difficulty level options for the group: easy, medium, and hard so that even the most experienced navigators have a chance to join in on the fun.

Price determined based on number of participants

SHELTER BUILDING

Teams will meet at the flagpole to take a short walk to the forest to build a shelter. The team will be given two items: a tarp and a length of rope.

At the end as many team members as possible will fit in the shelter and have a bucket of water poured on top to see if they stay dry.
